[quote name='SL4IN']Who said anything about handheld games/console games looking bad or good? No one brought graphics into the argument, and if graphics are important to oneself, they probably won't be playing portable/handheld games very much.[/quote]

If it's not the graphics, then what is the difference between "console exterience" and "handheld experience"?

Screen size (eye strain etc., not just graphics) and comfort while playing. *shrugs*
 
[quote name='Teh Nitwit']Short burst or not depends on the game - not the console. PSP does support sleep mode, so it's easy to play in "bursts". As for your other argument, just what exactly is this "console experience" and why is it bad to have an a handheld? As of now, it appears to me that you're advocating that portable games should look bad.[/quote]It's not neccessarily about the PSP or the DS supporting a sleep mode, it's just fact that PSP games are made like console games in that they require more of your attention. Infact most PSP games are console games (i.e. God of War, Grand Theft Auto, Daxter, etc.) It is easier to play a DS game in "bursts" because most are made with a higher emphasis on portablility - most DS games are designed with that in mind.

Immersion, attention given to the game, setting you play in, length in which you play, genre, length of the actual game, price points, etc.

While you may play Call of Duty or Halo on a console, tell me how many FPS' you're going to play on a handheld? Vice-versa, tell me how many 2D RPGs/retail games you're going to play on a 360 or PS3.
 
It's a tough call I have not had my :ds: long enough to determine which one is better. It saddens me though that it seems the :psp: is lacking great titles lately. Patapon was the last good one. :ds: has came out with some great titles lately and I can't wait for the FF VI remake among others!

If that's the difference between "console experience" and "handheld experience", then how are the DS and PSP different in that regard?

I do ALL my PSP gaming in the same comfort/conditions as console gaming. Pretty much every game I've played on a portable (tons of them on GBA) I could play on a TV. Many DS games were originally console games.

[quote name='silent h3ro']I would consider a console experience a more immersive experience and a handheld more simple for quick gaming sessions.[/quote]

I played Pong on a TV. Puzzle Quest on both PSP and PS3. Countless puzzle games on a PC (Brix, Hexxagon, etc), which I would argue is like a TV. Quick simple games like that are as playable on the PSP as they are on a DS. PSP actually has a ton of games like that. Puzzle Quest is one example. Crush and the wireframe optical puzzler (I forget the name) another.

I see no need to make distinctions between "console experience" and "handheld experience", expecially when both the PSP and DS have huge libraries of simple and immersive games (that could classied as either).

Controls suck on the PSP since the dpad and analog nub both suck. But DS is worse for 3D games do to having no analog controls.

I find both cramp my hands more than console controllers, and I just can't sit and lay in as comfortable a position and look at that small screen vs. sitting on the couch and looking at my 50" TV.

So I think there's a difference. And yes graphics I agree is also a big part of it. I just see no reason to play a portable when I could be playing my 360 on the TV.

But again I see the appeal for people who game on the go, share their TV with others etc.

Because they're small devices, per the name "handheld/portable". One type of cell phone may have a larger screen and more capabilities than another cell phone, but at the end of they day, they're both cell phones. The PSP has a bigger screen than a single DS screen, but at the end of the day, they're both portable gaming devices.

And many, many PSP games are ports of console games. Not very good ones a majority of the time. So what if a section of the DS's library, or even the PSP's library are ports of console games? As long as the experience is fresh or new, it shouldn't be a factor. Most DS ports are older games that have been remade or redone, sometimes with full overhauls of the original game, or simply adding to and improving upon the old game, but to today's standards, you would be incredibly hard pressed to find a more console turned portable game like Final Fantasy IV on a console. We've seen current gen/last gen console games ported to a handheld (PS2 games to PSP) and the transition has been incredibly rocky and unstable.

I played Pong on a TV. Puzzle Quest on both PSP and PS3. Countless puzzle games on a PC (Brix, Hexxagon, etc), which I would argue is like a TV. Quick simple games like that are as playable on the PSP as they are on a DS. PSP actually has a ton of games like that. Puzzle Quest is one example.

And the DS has an extremely broad range of games like what you just described. And it's silly to not notice the distinctions between "console experiences" and "portable experiences" because they are different, and it's apparent. You can continue to claim that "the DS has tons of SNES games ported to it" but so did the GBA. Times have changed, those games of yesteryear are better suited for a handheld experience rather a console experience. As I stated before, show me how many FPS' you'll play on a console versus a handheld, and how many 2D games you play on a handheld versus a console.

And yes, there are a good amount of simpler games on the PSP, but the games that define the PSP are console ports. Sony is even marketing their PSP as a portable PS2, where as the DS is a true handheld.
 
Regardless of which is more "enjoyable", I for one love the general design of the DS. I got a DS Phat, and as a portable system, it functions very well... chunkier design than the Lite (which feels too small in my hands), the flip-top lets you shove it in your pocket with no worries, and the sleep mode is a god send.

I remember being at work one day and playing on break when a coworker approached me with a problem. I flipped the lid shut, put it in my locker, went back to work, and forgot to bring it home for a week straight. Eventually I popped the lid open and... wow, battery is still going strong. Glad to see both the DS and PSP offer this option, as it is easily one of the smartest features on the system.
 
dmaul1114: I dont' disagre with you, but you should consider that there are grips for PSP (and probably for DS) that help with the hand cramping problem.

SL4IN: I appreciate you taking the time to converse with me, but I feel like you're talking about things different then what I'm talking about. My response to your:
1st paragraph:
of course they're handheld gaming devices. dmaul1114 stated how the two experiences are different and I tried to point out that those differences apply to both PSP and DS equally.
2nd paragraph:
here you sound like a DS fanboy. PSP ports of console games=rocky DS ports=awesome. Plus, noone ever said there is something wrong with having ports of console games on a handheld system. I only brougth that up to show how blurry the line is between "console experience" and "handheld experience".
3rd paragraph:
Again, nothing wrong with having console games on handhelds. You say it's silly (of me) not to notice the differences between "console experience" and "handheld experience" and yet you don't really explain why.

There are many games on handhelds that are "immersive" and many games on consoles/PC that are not. Just because PSP can play FPS and racing games it doesn't mean it can't play puzzle games. PSP is not "console-like". DS is simply inadequate for some types of games.

People saying that PSP is like a console and is somehow incapable of providing "portable experience" are full of it.
 
I enjoy my PSP more, but not for the games. I like the media capabilites (I like putting music vids and AMVs on my PSP) and basic internet.
 
PSP software blows. A few good games, but not as much as the DS. I have both systems and was dissapointed with buying the PSP at launch. The game I've played most with the PSP is Lumines...seriously, a launch game is the best thing out for it?
 
[quote name='silent h3ro']And yes, there are a good amount of simpler games on the PSP, but the games that define the PSP are console ports. Sony is even marketing their PSP as a portable PS2, where as the DS is a true handheld.[/quote]

Irrelevant how Sony markets the PSP. What is this nonsense about console ports "defining" the PSP. Who gives a crap about "defining"? What matters is what's available for the platform. Both DS and PSP have their share of ports, remakes, immersive and non-immersive games. Both can be played on the go just fine. Only difference is that DS uses a stylus (which I hate and is the reason I didn't get a DS) and folds while the PSP has more power, better graphics, and far more functionality (expecially with custom firmware).
Oh, and the DS is marketed to younger audience and is much cheaper.

That's it. Give it a rest, people, with this "PSP is too much like console" crap.
 
[quote name='SoulReaver']The game I've played most with the PSP is Lumines...seriously, a launch game is the best thing out for it?[/quote]

WTH? Seriously. That's just sad.
 
I do enjoy the PSP more, but I'm really not a bit handheld gamer right now. I bought my DS before my PSP though, but I mostly enjoy PSP since I prefer its games being more console oriented. However, I'm not really a fan of using UMDs (which makes the portability factor of the PSP not so convenient), so I kind of prefer the DS because it's easier to pick up and play (demos or full games purchased from the PS Store on a memory sticks helps a lot). If most of my PSP games were on the memory stick, things would be easier.

But due to my current financial situation, I may end up selling my DS Phat (I just don't buy many games for it or play it much), but I will buy a DSi down the road once I get a decent job. I just kind of hope GS has a hardware trade-in bump coupon so I get more than $20 for my Red DS Phat (I'm not asking for a lot).

I really do like both platforms no doubt (just a slight preference towards PSP), but right now I just don't have all that much time for gaming and rarely get around to playing handhelds, so something will have to go until things get better for me (I just can't ditch a console).
 
[quote name='DarkSageRK']/me plugs in* Disgaea, Jeanne D'Arc, and Crisis Core and has no clue what you're talking about

SNES games aren't fun. That's because I didn't grow up with them, so I'm not a biased fanboy. I have no desire to play another SNES RPG after the abortion that was Chrono Trigger.[/quote]

The PSP has tons of ports of Playstation games (really good games mind you). That's what I'm talking about. Complaining about DS having SNES ports is like the kettle calling the pot black.
 
[quote name='Teh Nitwit']Maybe he's loading his games from the memory stick?[/quote]

duh, why would i load PSP games off the disc? Some people just don't get it... Not you NitWit :)
 
[quote name='pochaccoheaven']exactly! the ds is short burst, which is what a handheld is suppose to be. i don't understand on peoples take of wanting a handheld to play like a console. if you wanted a console experience then buy a console, there are a choice of three to choose from.[/quote]

this is ridiculous... what the fuck you mean by console experience? by that i take that you mean positive experience? Like good graphic, wowing moments? If so, why can't you have that on a portable? I don't get it...

Short burst of play time? What the hell does that even mean? Scribbling on the screen with a stylus qualify as short burst of play time? Well, pressing buttons qualify too, why not? If you think you can fold the DS and open it later to continue, well, the PSP can do it too. Ever occur to you that spiting into a DS game to make it work bother you? I even have to do that with the *forbidden* card, sigh... Swapping media and games on the PSP is good enough reason for me. Try that with the DS, oh wait, the damn simplton don't even have a USB port :shock:
 
I think by short burst he means casual games like brain age etc. that you can play a session of in a short burst and not need to suspend the system etc. But the PSP has some games like that too.

I do think you can get a console like experience on the portables (other than the graphics not being as good and no surround sound). But you can have console style games--especially on the PSP. Look at God of War etc. DS has them as well, but they're more SNES-N64 era console style games.

For me those are pointless since I don't game on the go. If I'm going to play a console-like game it may as well be on my 50" TV with the surround sound than on tiny portable. But again, I 100% see the appeal for people who do game on the go, or need a portable for when the gf/wife/roommates etc. are hogging the TV and so on.
 
People said the DS got tons of game are full of crap! Seriously, do Petz, Imagine games even count???? How to quit Smoking? How to lose weight? I tell right off bat the games defines DS:

Super Mario
Princess Peach
Zelda PH

Even games like P. Wright are stretching it... Come on, you're better off reading a book than interactive stories. Put it this way, minus the Petz stuffs, the interactive story games, what you left with? Puzzle games and Mario, duh!

What kind of portable device that don't even consider spare battery options :shock:
 
[quote name='DQT']The PSP has tons of ports of Playstation games (really good games mind you). That's what I'm talking about. Complaining about DS having SNES ports is like the kettle calling the pot black.[/quote]

I like PS1/PS2 RPGs, though. The SNES ones just aren't my cup of tea.


Eh, I think I've lost track of my main point. Basically, I checked out Gamerankings, looked at all the well-received games, noted which ones I'd like to play, and found that the PSP came ahead. That's about it. The DS had a bunch of SNES ports, and I wasn't interested in any of them, so that skewed my decision.

Why do spare batteries matter? The DS on the lowest battery setting can get up to 20 hours of play time. I play on the 2 battery setting and roughly 12-14 hours of play time, only having to charge it every three days or so. You'd be lucky to get that amount of playtime on one charge of the PSP, where as the average life of a full battery is ~6-8 hours (playing on the lowest or second battery setting). That's probably why you need to cart around a second battery for the thing.

And your games argument is completely ridiculous when you don't even name the games that "define" or are even woth owning on the PSP.
 
I don't think i've fully embraced my PSP yet because I'm afraid if I carry it around with my i'm going to scratch/bust the screen. Because of that, I prefer my DS for on the go gaming.

The PSP is a much nicer peice of hardware, but there isn't a lot of material that I want to play for it.
 
IMO, they are very complementary systems. I enjoy the PSP for the power it provides and sports games/ PS2 type console games. I like to play the system while my wife watches TV. I enjoy the DS slightly more because it is more portable, better design, faster loads (without hacking)and much better battery life in addition to the great game library.
I will say both of them have taken a back seat to my iPod touch lately. Great screen, a lot of different game types, and a ton of other functionality.

Sigh, you're so full of DS (get it? two letters after B) that you got DS fanboy written all over you. Okay, forget about the damn battery's life, isn't a damn design flaw if you do want a spare? No USB? Err, even a simplton knows how to use a USB port...

I guess you don't know what GoW:CoO and FFCC stands for then... All i'm saying, if i want puzzle type of games, PSP got those. If i want Death Jr type of games, hell, good luck on the DS.

PSP with CFM > DS with *forbidden* card. Only a simplton disagrees... Don't be mad at the PSP if you can't get the CFM to work.

I'm sorry, most DS games are so lame that they should pay me to play them. Short burst of play? Let me tell you what that means to me... It means, pick a game i think it sounds interesting in the DS *forbidden* card menu and load it. A few minutes later, darn, that game stinks/pointless. Reset and pick another, oh wait, darn, this is just like the other one i played. Reset and oh darn, my short burst playing time became a chore, let me just play Super Mario Bros, but oh darn, i beat that game inside out... Brain Age, cool, but ah, so what i did everything with rocket speed, i know you don't care. What else? Oh RPGs with crappy graphic, wow, remind me why i want to waste time on instant noodles when i can have a burger combo? If your idea of drawing an Asian language looking character to excute a move/command is groundbreaking fun, i'm sorry, i think a press of a button is a lot simpler, simplton.
 
[quote name='Rei no Otaku']I own both, and definitely play my PSP more. The only time that changes is when a new Phoenix Wright game comes out.[/quote]

I went through the first PW, after that, i kinda lost interest. Mainly b/c i was stuck on one of the cross examinations (stupid stupid PRESS, yeah, the right PRESS order, you know what i mean). After looking up for a hint in a walk-through, well, i ended up reading the entire script... The next thing i realized i finished the game within half an hour. Best part? I didn't miss much, i got all of the images/sounds/humors from the first game.
 
Serpentor.

Have you heard of different strokes for different folks? You don't like casual pick up and play game--nor do I (I have a DS for 2D games and puzzlers), but no need to go insulting people who like those better.

Many don't see the point of playing something like God of War on a portable as they don't game on the go. Why not just play God of War on the PS2 on my 50" TV. Again it's great for people who want to game on the go, or when the TV is being used etc. and that's great.

Again, different strokes for different folks and no reason to get so heated over video game arguments. And pretty laughable to knock someone as a DS fanboy when you're slurping the PSPs nod and bashing the DS repeatedly in this thread. :lol:

Lol, Death Jr was on the PSP first, and now it "defines" the DS? So, two games? I mean, I own like, 7 games for my PSP, so there has to be more than two worth owning.

I'm really, really curious as to what DS games you're playing, because it seems like you're really, really reaching to make it sound like the DS' game library is bad....when it's not. Why are you trying so hard to impose that the small amount of games you played on the DS (which you haven't mentioned anything outside of Mario) are terrible and that the PSP is leaps and bounds better? Unless you can hands down factually (no opinions here, sorry) prove to me that the PSP is just simply better in every way (from a gaming standpoint) than the DS, then you're arguing in a fight you can't win and I'm done hearing you bitch that the 3 games you played on the DS are "trash" compared to a PSP that allows you to play pirated software.

Makes it easy to transfer homebrew and piracy. Which is moot since it's also very easy to pirate on the DS for the jackasses who are into piracy.

And the DS definitely has a good game library. Though I've been disappointed with it the past couple of years. Seems most of the good games have been JRPGs, SRPGs and text adventure games and I don't dig those genres.

But it was great from late 2005-2006 with NSMB, Princess Peach, Mario Kart, Kirby Canvas Curse, the first 2 Castlevania's (didn't like OoE) etc. etc.

At least with the DS *forbidden* card, you don't have to give the damn thing a BJ often. The fact that you can carry all of the games with you, a big bonus. We can argue the issue to no end, but if i have to be the jackass to enjoy the benefits, so be it :)

I just like to say that since it's so easy anyway, why not just include a USB port to make life even easier. I'm tired using the SD jacket... Hell, why not just ditch the cartridge concept entirely. Again, i have nothing against the DS, i just get jumpy when people said the DS is better designed. Blowing cartridge gives you bas taste doesn't it? I did that back in the NES days, but i didn't know any better back then, lol.

If I had to choose, PSP, hands down. It plays any PS1 game. Suikoden, in my pants!? Yes please. The PSP can also play games from just about every system before it. GB, GBA, NES, SNES, N64... It can play MP3s and MP4 and surf the net. I don't do any of the latter, but I do tons of the former. When it comes to feature set, the PSP destroys the DS. I don't think the DS has a massive advantage when it comes to game selection when you think just DS and PSP (not emulation). God of War, Resistance, Lumines, Exit, Mercury, a bajillion RPGs, Wipeout (still one of the best looking PSP games), MONSTER HUNTER PORTABLE, FFVII Core Crisis... Granted, the comin soon section is a little sparse, but over all, the PSP has no where near the shovelware the DS does.

I recently bought a DS because I'd finally accrued enough games from goozex to warrant the purchase and it's fairly evident the price isn't coming down any time soon. The games I wanted are most the DS Castlevania games. I also think the DS feels and looks like a cheap kids toy. If it wasn't for the Castlevania games and my modest GBA backlog, I doubt I'd have got a DS.
 
The PSP has no where the Software the DS does and you don't "surf the net' on a PSP. It's not fluid or easy. It is more akin to walking with a cane.

I forgot to mention the PSP store direct from the PSP is awesome as well.
 
And surfing the net on the DS is like walking without legs.

What? Just b/c i said you have to blow the DS cartridge to make it work? Nah nah, if people enjoy giving a little DS twirl before a quick burst of play, i want to hear it. Nah, i don't think it's morbid, hell no, that's your problem. And yes, i have to do it sometimes, and i hate it...
 
Oh fuck! i finally realized what the thread is about :shock:

Do you enjoy your DS more or your PSP?

Of course... that makes perfect sense...
 
I've never had to blow a DS cartridge and I've had a DS since launch. And I think more people are tired of the fanboyism and alluding to the piracy as a huge advantage of the PSP as any mention of piracy is hugely frowned on here (and against forum rules).
 
[quote name='usickenme']What is up with PSP fanboys? Are you that defensive?

Being the first place has nothing to with it. Who the hell cares who's first place, for god's sake. You can be righteous all you want. So what the DS is more enjoyable, do that give you some kind of satisfaction? For god's sake, i'm merely trying to open the simpleton's eyes and failed miserably... Anyway, it don't matter, the DS rules! And no, not a sarcasm, seriously, i really mean it.

dmaul, that's good to hear, but seriously, i doubt there are a lot of you... Who haven't blow a cartridge yet? Come on, don't be shy, i'm three for three (i got three DSs).

Oh dmaul, i take that you don't have a kid or you don't lend your DS to a kid (not even under your watch). Am i a good mentalist or what?

P.S. not fair... the DS *forbidden* cards are spreading like wild fire, even simpletons can do it... Also, not exactly against forum rules, since you're the one mentioning the P word.

No, but what's your point?

The PSP is even more fragile to being dropped etc. and thus I'd be even more reluctant to let a kid use mine.

ah, dmaul, that's where you're wrong... trust me, i got kids, my kids, relative kids, neighbors' kids. Whenever their little DS not working, oh fuck me, another BJ it is... Dropping the DS is virtually the same as dropping the PSP, so please, no dropping okay? Same goes scratching... but then since you don't need to scratch the screen to play the PSP, i feel safer.

This whole debate is pointless, here's why!!!

If you're not at the end of one spectrum (the one end that i'm trying to open up for you but you just have to be a faithful husband or BF), you can't possibly compare the two. If you saw the other spectrum for both DS and PSP. Well, eyes wide open and tell me which one you like better (please, not enjoy, because i know which one i don't).
